The Setlist for May 9, 2025


Introduction

Hey you’re here! Thank you.

I read Kim Gordon’s memoir this week, and you should too. Even if you’re not a Sonic Youth fan (or a very casual one like me), her writing about 80s NYC, her art and music and the shade she throws at Courtney Love and Billy Corgan make it a gem.

This week’s music features were all over the place. Dutch punk rock, indie electronic, throwback grunge and a stage musical (with a good backstory)! Hear songs from each of those, plus a bunch of other new stuff at the playlist below.

Got a record I should hear? Let me know about it.

Standout tracks

“IOU” by Weak Knees
I’ve been aiming to feature this band on the site for a while. Their two singles from this year are just killer.

“Pizzazz” by Scott Evil
The second single from the German band’s upcoming record is a catchy song and a cute, charming video.

“2Nite” by Italy 3000
I’ve had this on repeat all day. Can’t get enough.
